When it comes to sheer over-the-top heroism, few Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes can match the Space Wolves.
Known for their saga-worthy deeds and wild-eyed courage, the sons of Russ return to the battlefield with a fresh wave of heroic might, including five character-focused miniatures and a new Detachment that rewards going all-in on bold plays. Warhammer TV’s resident Fenrisian fanatic Si has been singing their praises, and it’s easy to see why.
Let’s break down what makes this new release so exciting—not just from a model perspective, but in how these warriors play on the table.
New Miniatures – Old Heroes, New Deeds
The stars of the release are Logan Grimnar and Arjac Rockfist, both clad in iconic Terminator armour and looking every inch the legends they are. These two belong alongside Wolf Guard Terminators, forming a durable core that embodies the Space Wolves’ famous resilience. Arjac excels at cracking elite enemies wide open, while Logan, the Old Wolf himself, is designed to burn through your opponent’s CP and dominate strategic plays. Give their escorts storm shields to boost survivability and let these champions hold the line or lead the charge.
On the other end of the field, Njal Stormcaller is back in power armour, reconnecting with his roots. This makes him a flexible force multiplier, and best paired with Grey Hunters. Thanks to his Wind Walker ability, they can dart around the battlefield at surprising speed while throwing out serious firepower and contesting objectives with their high OC. The synergy is unmistakable: psychic speed plus sustained fire equals objective dominance.
And then there’s the versatile new Wolf Priest kit. These battlefield chaplains are ideal for leading Blood Claw packs, keeping them alive with Healing Balms and pushing them toward ever more reckless aggression with their inspirational presence. It’s the perfect pairing of youthful fury and hard-earned wisdom.
Lastly, the Wolf Guard Battle Leader is a natural match for the new Headtakers. This is where you get real flexibility—ride into battle in an Impulsor for fast strikes or march on foot with storm shields for maximum staying power. Either way, this combo plays to the Space Wolves’ strengths: layered attacks, durable elites, and brutal close-quarters power.
Saga of the Bold Detachment – Live Your Legend
The new Detachment, Saga of the Bold, is tailor-made for Space Wolves players who love Character-led armies—and who doesn’t? The key mechanic here is Heroes All, a rule that turns every Character into a beacon of re-rolls. Stack your army with named heroes, battle leaders, and psykers, and you’ll find that almost every unit becomes significantly more reliable.
But this isn’t just a reward for taking cool characters—it’s a challenge. You’ll need to complete Boasts, thematic mini-objectives that reflect acts of heroism, and doing so unlocks wider benefits for your army. Achieve three or more and your whole force gets to share in the heroic re-roll goodness.
And if you equip the Skjald enhancement? You’ll earn a CP for every Boast completed, giving you a steady stream of command points to fuel key stratagems. It’s a classic case of high risk, high reward—very on-brand for Fenris.
What Else Is Coming?
This Army Set is just the beginning. It includes the brand-new Codex Supplement: Space Wolves, plus 28 miniatures—some of the most iconic Space Wolves units completely redone for the new edition. And don’t worry, fan favorites like Ragnar Blackmane, Ulrik the Slayer, and even dreadnoughts like Bjorn and Murderfang are still kicking around… literally, in some cases.
This set drops on Saturday and is the first opportunity to get your hands on these updated heroes. Whether you’re a longtime Space Wolves player or a newcomer looking to start your first saga, this is the perfect jumping-on point.
Time to sharpen your chainsword, whisper a prayer to Russ, and prepare for glory. Fenris demands it.
